Bobby, you're right. People always want $100, 200, 300 million jackpots. I'm one of them. Their reasoning, for the most part, is if they wanted a smaller jackpot they'd play their state's individual JP game. The whole idea behind multi-state lotteries is to decrease the chances of the numbers being picked over a large population demographic, thus propelling the JP amount to levels well beyond local lotteries.

Review and comments

0912 01.12.14.25.35+38 ABBCD ABCD

0916 13.24.39.51.51+44 BCDFF BCDF

My gap strategy workout suggested 4-point structures ABDF and CDEF

would be good plays.

ABDF

A numbers: None, I chose 1,2,5

B numbers: 13. I chose 10.11.17

D numbers: 39. I chose 34.36.39

F numbers: 51.52. I chose 51.52.56

Had 3 of the numbers, but not on the same line.

No wins.

CDEF

I chose 24 and 51. Both hit but no wins.

Powerball: 44

Invested $10, won $2

Interesting Analysis!

I went back to review your gap strategy. Very in depth.

It didn't take long for me to get lost. Guess I'll have to

spend a little time analyzing the methods involved.

That is of course, when I get some time!

One question I do have: For MM, do you use the following breakdown?

9 A numbers (1-9), 10 B numbers (10-19), 10 C numbers (20-29),

10 D numbers (30-39), 10 E numbers (40-49) and 10 F numbers (50-59).

Seems to me you might want to keep ea... [ More ]

The average PB jackpot for 2008 is approx. 112,714,215 in 2007 it was approx. $86,675,000

The Ohio website is showing the MM jackpot reset to $12M, so someone must have won tonight. A few more wins under $25M like in the couple of weeks, the average 2008 MM jackpot is going to be under $100M.

Finally got all the drawing results onto my spreadsheet (since the last matrix change) and begun to analyze them in totality. It's not finished yet. But I decided to play ABDF (Actually ABDDF) on five tries for tonight's drawing. lines 1,3 and 5 were all the same except for the MBs. Ditto lines 2 and 4. I don't expect any magic but when complete my analysis incorporating the gap strategy, we'll see what happens. It should take a couple weeks.

Good luck. We'll see how we do then I'll see if I... [ More ]

Gap strategy provides multiple data streams to aid the guesswork.

I reviewed the data and made my choices.

You could view the same data and make same or different choices.

Another player could make the same or different choices.

'Know thyself'

Over the years, I've made some good choices and won a few bucks.

But, I've made a lot of bad choices, too.

Hopefully, I've made a few correct choices for tonight.

If not, there is another drawing coming up on Friday... [ More ]

I still think we're due for a big $300M plus jackpot, or barring that, at least a $200M one.

I'm not sure if anyone has stats, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what the average MM jackpot is?

Sorry to hijack the thread....

Good luck, if there's a big winner among them after tomorrow night drawing, then there are going to a be a lot of members who will want to know all about the nitty gritty details.
